The history of pasta
:
The true Italian food
Pasta makers have cut down the time it takes to make this Italian staple.
Lagane, however, made from durum wheat, was around in Roman times and baked rather than boiled.
The Arab invasion in the 8th century created alot of influence on the Italian cuisine with the introduction of the dried version of the noodle known as macaroni which was a day long process in the making.
Apparently though pasta didn't meet tomatoes until the 19th century.
These days pasta is very much a popular dish in Australian cuisine, a conglomeration of so many immigrant groups that have come to live here.
It doesn't take a day to make pasta anymore either with pasta makers become very popular.
We got one off Santa last Christmas and hubby made good use of it tonight making ravioli with mince filling and cooked in a tomato based sauce.
